Heritage
The JOSEPHITE tradition started in Bangalore with the opening of the St. Joseph’s European High School
by the Paris Foreign Mission Fathers in 1858. In 1884 St. Joseph’s College was established. It has grown
steadily and today has more than 6000 students enrolled at the Undergraduate and Post Graduate Courses in
Arts, Science, Commerce, Computer and Management disciplines in its four independent Colleges namely, St.
Joseph’s College (Arts & Science), St. Joseph’s College of Commerce, St. Joseph’s Evening College and St.
Joseph’s College of Business Administration (SJCBA). The Jesuit Fathers, however, came into the picture
in 1937 when the Paris Foreign Mission handed over all Joseph’s Institutions to them. These Institutions are
now under the Management of the Bangalore Jesuit Educational Society (R).
St. Joseph’s College of Business Administration has been conducting One Year Evening Management
Courses since 1968. The Courses were a great help to the working executives and the Diploma awarded by the
College was well accepted by the Corporates.
In November 1996 the College secured approval from AICTE, New Delhi, for a Two Year Full Time PGDM
Programme. In August 2007, SJCBA received AICTE approval to enhance the intake from 60 to 120 students.
In August 2007 SJCBA secured approval from the AICTE for offering the Executive PGDM and PGCM
programmes. The first batch of Executive PGDM and Executive PGCM were launched on 20 August 2007.
The College is located in an independent campus in the heart of the city on F. M. Cariappa Road
(Residency Road), Bangalore - 560 025.

Objectives
In keeping with the traditions of the Society of Jesus which runs Educational Institutions all over the world
and in keeping with the spirit and the needs of the times in which we live, the College aims at the integral
formation of its students helping them to become men and women of substance. Concretely this means:

• Striving for excellence in learning, creative and practical thinking and co-operative leadership,
• Personalizing genuine ethical values, and,
• Becoming aware of the prevailing socio-economic conditions and committing oneself to the
development of India.

Mission
SJCBA is the rallying point where the search for knowledge is informed by a sense of mission to the life of
the community, where understanding is coupled with commitment, and excellence with sound virtue and where
young global leaders are formed with the conviction that life is lived well only when it is lived joyfully in the
service of others.

Minority Institution
SJCBA is a Christian Minority Institution enjoying the protection under Article 30 of the Indian Constitution.
It was founded primarily for the education of Catholic students, and also of others without distinction of caste,
creed and religion.

Location
The College is located on F. M. Cariappa (Residency) Road in an independent campus with spacious
classrooms, Library and a Computer Lab.

them qualities required for effective leadership of organizations. Accordingly different methods of teaching
appropriate to each course will be used. Apart from the lecture sessions, group exercises, case studies,
simulated games, seminars and audio-visual presentations are used. Students are encouraged to analyze,
anticipate and innovate by the use of computers and find the resources and information in the library to prepare

Evaluation Norms and Promotion Policy

Evaluation weightages (INDICATIVE):
Assignments/ Case studies / Field Work: 30%
Mid-Term Test: 30%
End-Term Exam: 40%

Credit for each Course

The College uses the concept of “credit” to define the weightage of a course in the curriculum. Courses may be
classified as ONE, TWO, or THREE Credit courses depending on the expected workload for each course.
Typically, a Three-credit course would require about 100 hours of work consisting of 33 hours of classroom
work and 67 hours outside the classroom involving library work, project work and assignments. The One and
Two credit courses require proportionately less work.

Courses
a) Courses in the first year are of 1, 2 or 3 credits depending on the level of knowledge desired. The first year
courses are all core courses which anchor the student in an environment for learning the concepts and
fundamentals in areas such as Accounting, Law, Statistics, Quantitative Techniques, Finance, Marketing,
Human Resources Management, Operations and others. A student is also expected to sensitize himself to
the ethical issues in business management.
b) Courses in the second year, other than the compulsory courses, determined and offered by the faculty will
be the elective courses. Elective courses are of 1, 2 or 3 credits. In the second year, the fourth term will
have a few compulsory courses and other elective courses.
